Title: Standing Rock Protestors
Post by: Ben on February 08, 2017, 09:37:45 AM
Not that leftist environmentalists trashing whatever "save the planet" environment they are "saving" is anything new, but this is the first time I've seen a place trashed so badly that they needed loaders to clean it up. Looks like the landfill I worked at as a youngster.

Apparently the befoulment with human waste is quite dramatic.

What a way to honor the tribe's sacred ancestral lands... by taking a huge, corny dump on them.

Not much different than when "concerned environmentalists" had their annual Earth Day gatherings at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and left behind tons of filth and garbage for SOMEONE ELSE to clean up.

And let's not forget the mountains of trash left in cities all across the country by the various "occupy" demonstrations.

Those damned Tea Party conservative elitists -- always looking for ways to make themselves look better than other people.

How dare they clean up their own trash? They're just taking work away from honest American trash collectors who need jobs.

Wouldn't it be a "huge, maizey dump" technically?  =D

And, of course, none of the leftists will ever care about the massive hypocrisy.

Because actions and consequences don't really matter to them, only intentions.

Some folks seem to have trouble with twitchy links.  I, among them. I had to go roundabout this way:

http://www.weeklystandard.com/the-trash-is-upright-at-standing-rock/article/2006734

to get the information.

Twitchy (and a few other sites) seem to make Internet Explorer choke.  Don't know why.

One comment at the time that circulated is they would have mowed the lawn afterwards as well if merely asked.

I have noticed that as well. For "water guardians", they seem to really hate actual environmentalism and protecting the water.

You know, I'm both surprised and not surprised?

I'm surprised because I thought they were doing a lot of the "old methods", which would keep the waste controlled.  You know, dig actual latrines and such.

Then again, we're talking about thousands of protesters hanging out there for months.  I doubt any site would be clean after that without very serious organization to keep it clean and export all the trash generated.

Well, they were supposedly pretty organized.  I've certainly seen large primitive camping sites left in much better shape after a week long gathering. 

Early Burning Man cleanups might be a good comparison.

The bar is not high, people. If no police cars were turned into cloacae, they're doing quite well by their standards.

Next question: how many sexual assaults?

Post by: RoadKingLarry on February 10, 2017, 08:42:50 PM
Just from the pics I saw there looked to be some fairly high $$ tents abandoned at the location. Were the "protesters" forcibly removed or did they just leave and abandon all that crap?
If the latter, it leads me to believe that the whole deal was one big AstroTurf event.

Once Obama halted the Project and the weather went to really bad, they all ams-crayed.   I don't care how much you spent on your store bought tent, A North Dakota winter will run your white hiney off the rez if you aren't really prepared. 

Everyone was in a hurry to not freeze to death, and not so much about leaving a mess.

This whole waste and garbage thing must be completely exaggerated.  After all, they gave the campsite an Indian Native American name so it would be all like, you know, in tune with Mother Erf and Nature and stuff.

It's these kinds of people that make the people who are seriously invested in something go "Please, don't help. You go home. We don't want your help."

We've got a bunch of them in the RKBA movement as well, although we seem to do a better job of keeping our nutters under control.

I would highly disagree with that.   Case in point, the two 'tards that walked into a Michigan police station OCing long guns while dressed in black with their faces covered.

A quick scan through the Round Table will reveal numerous "YOU'RE NOT HELPING" threads.

I will just point out that while I'm taking inventory and figuring out which guns may be getting a fancy new threaded barrel in the near future, all the Standing Rock people are getting is a pipeline.

They aren't helping, but at least they're not getting in the way.

what i have been trying to point out to all of my D.A.P.L friends on facecrack is that if you drive to protest an oil pipeline or if you use your device or pc and use power- its all hypocritical- if sucessful in closing down the pipeline, all that happens is some other corner of the globe is polluted with no oversight

Key here is 'week long'.  The problem gets worse with time, not better.

With as many people there and the duration, they should really have been hauling out a dumpster truck worth of trash every couple days just to keep up, even if they were being careful.

People who think about operational issues like that generally have better things to do than protest. I used to live in a college town and these kinds of protests remind of protests and parties (often hard to tell the difference) there. Some were annual events (often environmentally themed), and every year left trash and human feces over a mile stretch of beach. After a while someone should have caught on if they were really concerned about the trash, but they were more concerned about the message and their rights. "Why doesn't the county provide refuse service for us?"

Eventually the county shut down or severely restricted some of them because they were actually becoming health issues to the community. There was great outrage about "our rights". Not much was said about "our responsibilities".

More environmentalism from the Standing Rock protestors. These are the same idiots that push their local lawmakers to force people to get permits to use their fireplaces.

I really don't understand why the Corp of Engineers doesn't bring in a bunch of *huge* bulldozers, form them up into a line, and slowly level the entire camp protesters and all.  (hasn't Israel done something like that before?)

I bet they could find volunteer operators who would not stop for anyone trying a "Tienanmen Square" gambit.

The governor forced the evacuation so crews could begin the cleanup. Hundreds of large-capacity waste removal trucks have already carted out more than 1,000 tons of waste. Another environmental hazard is underreported: authorities have counted several hundred abandoned vehicles. The camp sat on a natural floodplain, and the work now is round-the-clock to clear out waste and debris before the spring thaw.

At spring melt the Cannonball River current is strong enough to carry these left-behind vehicles, along with fuel, oil, and other polluting agents, into the Missouri River. Thus, in the desire to prevent a pipeline disaster that could pollute the Missouri someday, these globe-lovers have threatened that same river with an environmental crisis that is more likely to happen tomorrow.

A Tribe Called ‘Debt’

For its efforts to protect the region, the Sioux tribe has incurred significant losses. The land they wanted to keep pristine has been befouled by the very people who undertook their cause. The tribe has also reported $6 million in losses at its nearby casino, largely because the squatters shut down the bridge that channels gamblers to its resort.

Besides the potential for either premediated murder or manslaughter charges, depending solely on the skill of the lawyers and amount of legal fees involved, they left enough waste behind when they voluntarily left. Cleanup is enough of a concern. Why add more trash to the mix.
